Hi all, long time lurker, sometimes contributor.
I'm losing roughly 12 lbs per month using CICO. I'm also a fairly active person. I don't have a car and I live in a walkable city; I average about 50k steps a week, plus 30-ish minutes of cycling per day to run errands. So far I'm feeling pretty good with my pace and appetite but I also want to start being more intentional with working out. After all, the whole point of losing weight– at least, for me– is to feel more mobile and fresh. I have it somewhere in the back of my mind that exercise will be easier and/or more enjoyable when I'm less heavy. I can already feel that with walking. I feel like a god damn 195 lb feather. I also fear that adding more exercise will affect my current CICO routine, which I've been able to maintain somewhat effortlessly and intuitively. So, anyways, I guess I have two questions:
-
General thoughts on what sort of exercises I can do that won't push me too hard, emotionally and physically? Preferably free, accessible, and NOT running? Youtube links welcome.
-
Is there any physiological/express disadvantage to waiting until I'm at normal weight to begin more intentional/strenuous workout routines, besides a small delay on getting swol? I know very little about all of this so please ELI5
